Proteolysis-inducing factor core peptide mediates dermcidin-induced proliferation of hepatic cells through multiple signalling networks.
Dermcidin is a candidate oncogene capable of increasing the number of cultured neuronal, breast cancer and prostate cancer cells and improving the survival of hepatic cells. The dermcidin gene encodes the proteolysis-inducing factor core peptide (PIF-CP) and the skin antimicrobial peptide DCD-1. The peptide responsible for inducing proliferation of cells and the mechanisms involved are unknown....
متن کاملPrediction and biochemical characterization of intrinsic disorder in the structure of proteolysis-inducing factor/dermcidin.
Proteolysis-inducing factor/dermcidin (PIF/DCD) is a novel human gene, located on chromosome 12, locus 12q13.1, that encodes a secreted 110-amino acid protein. Two transcripts for the protein have been identified in normal skin, breast, placenta and brain, and in various primary and metastatic tumor cells. The putative native-state structure of PIF/DCD has not been resolved. Here, we describe s...
متن کاملO-13: Na+/K+-ATPase Alpha1 Isoform Mediates Ouabain-Induced Expression of Cyclin D1 and Proliferation of Rat Sertoli Cells
Background: Novel roles for the interaction of cardiotonic steroids to Na+/K+-ATPase have been established in recent years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the intracellular signaling events downstream the action of ouabain on Na+/K+-ATPase in Sertoli cell obtained from immature rats. Treatment of Sertoli cells with ouabain (1 μM) induced a rapid and transient increase in the ex...
متن کاملHypoxia-inducible factor-1 mediates activation of cultured vascular endothelial cells by inducing multiple angiogenic factors.
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) mediates transcriptional activation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and other hypoxia-responsive genes. Transgenic expression of a constitutively stable HIF-1alpha mutant increases the number of vascular vessels without vascular leakage, tissue edema, or inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the molecular basis by which HIF-1 mediates the ...
متن کاملProtein kinase C mediates basic fibroblast growth factor-induced proliferation through mitogen-activated protein kinase in coronary smooth muscle cells.
Proliferation of coronary smooth muscle cells (cSMCs) contributes to the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty, and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a powerful mitogen for cSMCs. In this study, we investigated the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase C (PKC), and the transcription factor c-myc in bFGF-stimulated mitogenesis, ...
